Connecticut: New gun laws have negative impact on hunters

A couple of days before heading north to hunt moose in Vermont, I stopped by a local gun store for a box of ammunition, only to find out the store could not legally sell me the bullets because I didn't have a pile of newly required permits in hand. To my surprise and dismay, a hunting license, which is earned by passing a rigorous 12 hour class, is no longer sufficient "hoop jumping" to buy bullets in Connecticut.
